Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

As a crack appeared somewhere around us, a chill swept in with the cold wind!

The candles in the room suddenly went out!

Hawthorne sensed something was wrong and tried to remain calm.

It's now 70% certain that the assassins above her are after her.

With them closing in, staying inside would only mean certain death, and even if they did die, it would be without any explanation.

Could it be——

He's one of Li Lang's men?!

The thought flashed through my mind.

In his previous life, Li Lang did say that he hoped she would die in the Xie family so that he could gain leverage over the Xie family.

Li Lang rushed in to confirm. He then seemed to deliberately mention the discovery of the assassin in front of Xie Lin, putting on a serious act to lure Xie Lin out of the room...

No!

Hawthorne disregarded the rules that the old nanny had instructed her to follow when she left the palace.

She tiptoed to the door, lifted her skirt, and burst through the door, then ran out!

He charged forward with all his might, not daring to stop and look back to see if the assassins had caught up!

The most urgent task—

She might survive if she ran to the table in the front hall!

The assassin couldn't very well kill her in front of all the guests, could he?

The stealthy footsteps behind her confirmed her suspicions: those people were still following her!

Suddenly!

Looking up, she saw a man in black waiting in the corridor ahead. He looked up when he heard her running in a panic. His face was covered, and only his eyes, which were exposed, were filled with surprise.

To save his life, Hawthorne quickly turned at the fork in the road.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the terrain of the Marquis of Anding's residence.

So she didn't know where she had ended up.

Moments later, she will deeply regret her choice...

Because she saw Xie Shu.

At this moment, Xie Shu had inexplicably become separated from his guards and was dealing with three assassins alone.

Those three were clearly no ordinary people; their skills were far beyond those of ordinary assassins, and every move they made was deadly.

Xie Shu was injured, and even with his excellent martial arts skills, he was finding it difficult to defend against the three assassins. Taking advantage of repelling another wave of attacks from the assassins, he had a moment to turn around and saw Huo Sanghua!

The same look of disbelief...

Before the two could catch up, the assassins who had been chasing after Hawthorne arrived...

The assassins on both sides were stunned when they met face to face.

Knowing that he could not protect Huo Sanghua safely among so many assassins, Xie Shu took advantage of the moment before everyone could react, grabbed Huo Sanghua's wrist, and fled!

The assassins who were originally fighting Xie Shu were about to give chase as soon as they saw him run away!

However, the assassins who had come to kill Hawthorne actually gave up their pursuit upon seeing this.

They ran into the group that was chasing Xie Shu!

The fighting behind him was quite intense, and Huo Sanghua was full of doubts, somewhat confused about the situation.

She wanted to look back—

However, Xie Shu was pulling her tightly, so she could only clutch her cumbersome skirt and run after Xie Shu. Xie Shu was quite honest, holding Huo Sanghua's wrist firmly, as if afraid of leaving her behind, forgetting that Huo Sanghua was a living, breathing person...

But it will hurt.

By the time Hawthorne realized what was happening, he felt as if his wrist was about to dislocate!

Just as he was about to call Xie Shu back—

Xie Shu stopped first.

Hawthorne couldn't stop in time and crashed directly into Xie Shu's back.

Ignoring the pain, he peeked out from behind Xie Shu and saw a man in black blocking their path...

Another one?!

and many more!

Si Qingyue... ...

Huo Sanghua recognized the person in front of her by his figure; it was Si Qingyue, who had climbed out of her back window not long ago!

Haha... The Xie family is really lively tonight!

Without saying much, Xie Shu raised his long sword and went to meet Si Qingyue, who was covering her face.

They immediately became entangled in a fight.

Hawthorne was slightly taken aback.

She hadn't expected Si Qingyue to be so skilled...

For a fleeting moment, she wondered if Si Qingyue was the one who killed Xie Shu in her past life?! But before this thought could be confirmed, she had already become Si Qingyue's hostage...

Seeing that she was no match for Xie Shu, Si Qingyue took advantage of Xie Shu's momentary daze and kidnapped her!

"What are you doing!" Xie Shu quickly sheathed his sword, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as he stared at Si Qingyue.

I fear the sword in the assassin's hand...

It harms innocent people.

“You… ……” Hawthorne had the shadows of her past life, and she knew that many things would happen on the night of her wedding.

This time, I was naturally much more cautious, carefully guarding against any possible accidents. I didn't want to die here with Xie Shuqi like I did in my previous life!

Before she could speak, Si Qingyue's sword drew even closer.

Xie Shu quickly stopped her, "Don't hurt her! I can let you go!"

Hawthorne secretly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Si Qingyue had taken her hostage to force Xie Shu to let her leave...

But Si Qingyue was certainly not stupid.

They knew that if they released Hawthorne now, he would definitely not escape.

The three remained locked in a stalemate.

Si Qingyue, holding Huo Sanghua hostage, slowly moved towards the side door.

Xie Shu followed closely, his eyes fixed on the long sword in Si Qingyue's hand, fearing she might harm Huo Sanghua. Once outside, Si Qingyue forced Huo Sanghua onto a horse and galloped out of the city.

Even though she had assured Xie Shu that as long as she left the city safely, she would naturally release Huo Sanghua.

Xie Shu was still worried and spurred his horse to catch up.

"Sister Si..." Huo Sanghua was being jostled so hard on horseback that she almost vomited bile, but she was still trying her best to maintain her balance.

Half of my body is numb.

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you. That eldest Xie is chasing you hard; once I shake him off, I'll let you go back!" Si Qingyue said, turning back to confirm Xie Shu's location—

Xie Shu followed not far behind.

Huo Sanghua looked at Si Qingyue with trepidation and asked the question that had been troubling her most... "Sister Si, are you going to kill him?"

"Kill him?" Si Qingyue's tone was surprised, then she chuckled, "I did want to kill him, but unfortunately, I'm no match for him."

Just like Hawthorne's current assessment...

Although the reason is unknown, one can sense that Si Qingyue harbors a strong hatred when facing Xie Shu.

She didn't want Xie Shu to catch Si Qingyue.

But she didn't want Si Qingyue to use her to kill Xie Shu...

"Sister Si, find a chance to put me down up ahead, and I'll hold him off! You take this opportunity to leave quickly, and whatever you do, don't look back!"

"Do you think the eldest son of the Xie family will let me go after this?" Si Qingyue sneered.

Judging from what she had done tonight, it must have already aroused Xie Shu's suspicion. Her voice was so cold it sent chills down one's spine.

She looked at the person in her arms, her eyes sharpening. "Sang Hua, remember my words! The Xie family is not to be trusted. Don't believe them!"

They drove out of the city.

Because Xie Shu was pursuing her so closely, Si Qingyue was unable to escape and had no choice but to take Huo Sanghua hostage again and wait for Xie Shu to arrive.

Then, taking advantage of Xie Shu's unpreparedness, he threw a poisoned dart at Xie Shu.

Xie Shu instinctively blocked her dart, but was also poisoned in the process...

Having succeeded, Si Qingyue instinctively wanted to take Huo Sanghua away from here.

However, seeing Xie Shu poisoned, Hawthorne disregarded everything else and had no choice but to give up.

He leaped onto his horse alone and swiftly fled the area.

"Young Master!" Caught in the middle, Hawthorne finally rushed towards Xie Shu, whose situation was more urgent...

When he turned around again, he saw that Si Qingyue had already mounted her horse and left, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was temporarily at ease.

But what happens next—

Xie Shu's condition is even more critical.

He was seriously injured while fighting the group of assassins in the mansion, and was also poisoned by Si Qingyue.

He immediately lost consciousness and collapsed...

The last thing I heard from Hawthorne was... "Young Master."
